NOW SHOWING AT A BLOG NEAR YOU

What’s that? Another exorcism film by the same guy who made Emily Rose? Yes, please. Actually, Deliver Us From Evil, which I reviewed for Aleteia this week, isn’t quite as creepy as director Scott Derrickson’s previous horror films, but it’s still a pretty solid effort.

In addition, I’ve gotta admit it’s always nice to watch Derrickson’s obsession with Catholicism. Oh sure, he’s a Presby, but it’s been obvious for years he’s fond of dipping his toes in the Tiber, although he can’t quite find the nerve to jump in and make the swim. He pretty much confirms as much in a recent interview with Steven Greydanus.

Of course, despite Derrickson’s respect for the Church, not every Catholic is a fan of his films. Fr. Dennis, who can usually be counted on to give at least three stars to just about anything, blasts Deliver Us From Evil with a total of zero. Why? Because the movie changes just about everything from the book upon which it was based. Can you believe Hollywood would ever do such a thing? Have they no respect for historical accuracy?

Speaking of movies and history, just in time for the 4th of July weekend, Donald R. McClarey over at the American Catholic discusses a recent list of top ten movie battle speeches and adds a few suggestions of his own. Those are all pretty good, but we have to wonder why nobody mentioned what is undoubtedly the best motivational battle speech of all time...

What do you mean that’s too silly to make the list? What’s wrong with silly? Jason Dietz from NonModern must not think there’s anything wrong with silly since he’s decided to try baptizing A Shot In The Dark.

See? Some things that sound silly can actually have serious undertones. That’s probably why Father V. over at Adam’s Ale is starting to get a bit concerned about the idea of robot marriage.

Are you *currently* being sent into Hell forever ... automatically excommunicated (outside) of God’s Catholic Church ?

Answer: Yes you are ... you can reverse it ... please continue.

Council of Florence, Session 8, 22 Nov 1439 -- infallible Source of Dogma >"Whoever wills to be saved, before all things it is necessary that he holds the Catholic faith. Unless a person keeps this faith whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish eternally."

You must believe the Catholic Dogma to be in the Church ... Dogma you have *never* seen.

Site > Immaculata-one.com ... infallible Dogma throughout.

The Catholic Faith *is not* Bible interpretation ... it is the Catholic infallible Sources of Dogma. The Catholic Church didn’t even define the Bible’s New Testament Canon until 397 A.D. at the Council of Carthage.

Can a group which enforces the opposite, the opposite, and the opposite of the Catholic unchangeable Dogma be the Catholic Church?

No, it cannot possibly be the Catholic Church ... and promotion of the opposite of the Catholic Dogma is exactly what the vatican-2 heretic cult does ... and has been doing since it’s founding on 8 December 1965 at the Vatican.

The vatican-2 heresy does not have the Office of the Papacy ... only the Catholic Church has the Papacy.

The Dogma cannot “change” or be “reversed” ... God does not “change”.

The founding documents of the vatican-2 heretic cult … the “vatican-2 council” documents … have well over 200 heresies *against* prior defined unchangeable Dogma. Every (apparent) bishop at the “council” approved the mountain of heresy, which caused their automatic excommunication, see Section 13.2 of the below site.

Section 107 > St. Athanasius (died 373 A.D.) ... “Even if the Church were reduced to a handful ...” - - during the “arian” heresy ... we are there again, but worse.

Section 13.3 > Matt 16:18, Gates of Hell scripture ... is *not* about the Office of the Papacy ... four Dogmatic Councils defined it ... that heresy will not cause the Dogma to disappear.

Section 13.4 > The vatican-2 heretic cult does not have the Office of the Papacy only the Catholic Church has the Papacy.

Section 13.6 > The Catholic Dogma on Jurisdiction and Automatic Excommunication for heresy define that ... God has allowed Catholic Jurisdiction ... for Mass and Confession to disappear from the world. There is no such thing as Catholic Mass outside of the Catholic Church.

Non-Catholic heresies such as “vatican-2”, “sspx”, “sspv”, “cmri”, etc. ... do not have Catholic Mass.

Section 10.2 > Returning to a state of grace, in places and times when Confession is not available, like now.

Second Council of Constantinople, 553 A.D. -- infallible Source of Dogma >"The heretic, even though he has not been condemned formally by any individual, in reality brings anathema on himself, having cut himself off from the way of truth by his heresy."

It's a shame you're a Internet troll who simply goes around posting this exact same diatribe on every Catholic site she can, Ms. Depalma, because I know you won't ever come back to read any response.

On the off chance you do, however, may I make one suggestion? Don't lead off with "You're going to Hell!" It kind of makes everything else that comes after kind of anti-climatic, don't you think? Save some for the big finish :)

(Oh, and if you do come back, maybe then we can have a real conversation.)
